We are always looking for help at Intermountain Healing Hearts. It is a local support group for families with children fighting or who have lost children due to CHD's or congenital heart defects. I am on the board, I can't believe how many people are affected by Heart defects.... Good for you on doing something that will inspire your "Heart", You amazing gal you!

We give to Primary Children's and the Utah Food Bank. I volunteered at the Food Bank a few years ago and loved it. I loved seeing how much good a few cans of food could do. I also volunteered at the library awhile back and loved it. Probably less fulfilling to donate money that direction though.

My husband and I volunteer once a month for the Downs Syndrome Association, I believe they have one in every major city. It's so rewarding playing with the kids and just talking to them.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is also pretty awesome. I have been a Big Sister for 5 years, and it's such a great way to mentor kids who otherwise might end up heading in the wrong direction.

Another thing you could do is just buy an extra few cans of food when you go grocery shopping. My parents have a second pantry in their house that they always have filled with food and they put a note in the church newsletter if there were any people that needed food to just give them a call. They feed 2-3 families besides themselves each week, it's pretty amazing.
